This is a collaborative wiki created by EDU 310 Technology in Education pre-service students at North Carolina Wesleyan College. They have chosen Web 2.0 Tools that may be integrated into their future classrooms and used as resources for lesson planning and assessments.
Thirty (30) Web 2.0 Tools have been reviewed.
What are Web 2.0 Tools? Web 2.0 is about revolutionary new ways of creating, collaborating, editing and sharing user-generated content online. It's also about ease of use. There's no need to download, and teachers and students can master many of these tools in minutes. Technology has never been easier or more accessible to all. http://web2014.discoveryeducation.com/web20tools.cfm
This much is clear: Web 2.0 represents an important shift in the way digital information is created, shared, stored, distributed, and manipulated.
As the name suggests, Web 2.0 describes a set of next-generation Internet technologies. These protocols and tools make it easier to create online applications that behave dynamically, much like traditional PC-based software. They're also highly social, encouraging users to manipulate and interact with content in new ways. Web 2.0 pushes computing power off the desktop and onto the Internet, which means less time and money spent on PC software administration. As a general rule, Web 2.0 tools are also less expensive than traditional software — and many are even free. Because they're Web-based, all you need to get started is an up-to-date browser.
In general, the key characteristics of Web 2.0 are:
Web-based applications can be accessed from anywhere
Simple applications solve specific problems
Value lies in content, not the software used to display content
Data can be readily shared
Distribution is bottom-up, not top-down
Employees and customers can access and use tools on their own
Social tools encourage people to create, collaborate, edit, categorize, exchange, and promote information
Network effects are encouraged; the more people who contribute, the better the content gets
